Mechanical seals act as a method of containing the fluid discharge within the pump - where the rotating shaft passes through a stationary housing (or where the housing rotates around the shaft). Unlike traditional sealing methods, which allow for leakage, require flushing, and increase maintenance expenses, mechanical seals on a pump provide a more efficient and cost-effective solution.
Pump mechanical seals overcome the common drawbacks of gland packing, offering businesses several advantages:
- minimal to no visible leakage - saving water
- reduced maintenance due to self-adjusting springs
- easy to repair
- no need for flush waster.

Sealtek Mechanical Seals
Sealtek mechanical seals offer a world-first non-metallic seal with diamond seal faces. This innovative design features a revolutionary patented diamond seal face design, with a high resistance to scoring.
The design allows for very high thermal conductivity (4 times higher than copper), a much lower coefficient of friction than silicon carbide, and easy installation.
These pump mechanical seals have the ability to withstand any aggressive and / or dirty fluids and are the best choice for replacing seals that fail early.
A range of sizes that fit almost every pump and mixer are available.
